One camera will be installed at Ward Jackson Park, after play equipment was stolen. Another will be located close to the bowls club and coach house near Blakelock Road, and one more will cover a children’s playground with potentially at-risk play equipment at Blakelock Gardens.

A council officer’s report for the camera at the Burn Valley
Gardens play area states: “It is considered that the installation of the
proposed CCTV camera would increase surveillance and therefore potentially help
deter incidences of crime and disorder, particularly antisocial behaviour and
acts of vandalism.”

The Friends of Hartlepool’s Wild Green Spaces voluntary
group approves of this decision by the council.

Chair of the group Anne Brown said: “Anything that will
help protect the parks and stop the wanton vandalism and thefts that goes on is
a good idea.

“But it’s important they are linked and monitored so
that action can be taken fairly quickly.”

Maria Seymour, of the Place in the Park Cafe, said: “I welcome it. Hopefully it might discourage people from damaging the play equipment and also protect businesses as well.”

CCTV Surveillance employs a variety of access control
technologies in order to create advanced solutions, enable users to exert
solid, reliable and accurate control over the access to specific premises or
zones.

The access control systems supplied by CCTV Surveillance also support an effective Fire Roll Call feature, which will enable employers to evacuate the personnel off the premises in a very orderly and clear manner, should a fire, explosion or some other type of catastrophe occur.
